Bears' Draft: Offense Heavy, Defense Next

0:00It's April 25th, from breaking news to Sunday matchups. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI. Chicago Bears Drafton got everybody talking with some wild swings. They snagged a steal at the 25th pick on Thursday, but then doubled down on offense yesterday, grabbed in a center, tied end, and wide receiver. In the second and third rounds, that's heavy investment for new offensive coordinator Ben Johnson's scheme. Fans lit up after that early gem, but the reach on those non-defensive picks raised eyebrows. Consensus boards had better value elsewhere, making it feel like a weekend style grab on a Friday. Now the Bears hold four more shots today, 129 in the fourth round, 144 in the fifth, and two late sevens at 239 and 241. Smart money's on defense here. Defensive tackles like Grayson Holton from Oklahoma, or Daryl Jackson Jr. from Florida state, edge rushers such as Danny Dennis Sutton from Penn State, or cornerbacks including

1:02Germain McCoy from Tennessee. They might even eye a running back for extra juice. Keep an eye on those calls. Bears could balance this draft and build a squad that contends come fall.
